If you instal another browser like mozilla firefox or Opera (www.opera.com) it will not interfere with your internet explorer settings. I think that most people will say either go with firefox or Opera, they are your best options for an alternative web browser. Both offer tabbed browsing which is a great feature.

I have Mozilla. Evern though its the same browser as Firefox, I like it better only because of the menu layout.
